I know it is heavily mentioned in Turok Evolution. Also that got released far faster than I'd thought. I'll be grabbing it as soon as I can find my wallet.

For what it's worth, it's like they took the best of both versions of the game and smashed them together into one! If 2's remake is going to be as good as this then i'm totally excited for it. The one thing to watch out for is that since the game overall runs much faster, the enemies also move around and shoot much faster.

Also of note is that they've redesigned parts of the levels. I'd be interested in seeing a comparison video/bunch of images if/when anybody decides they want to do it.

The one thing to watch out for is that since the game overall runs much faster, the enemies also move around and shoot much faster. Ok, I picked this up. Here's a brief lowdown of the first level and part of the third. First off, the controls are silky smooth as is everything else graphically wise. Runs fine, and sounds great! Now, there are your standard Easy, Normal and Hard difficulties, which seem to have the same rules as in the 64 version. Also enemy speed is slightly increased on Hard, and they have more HP than in the 64 version (Ancient Warriors take at least 5 bullets to kill now.). Then there's an extra difficulty, HARDCORE. It ain't bullshitting. Enemies soak up more damage, deal more damage, and move twice as fast. It's seriously like having the Spiritual Invincibility glitch from the 64 version (which is NOT present), on all the time, but even faster. You can't outrun Raptors anymore. You can't constantly backup to avoid all their attacks. Their leap attacks and normal animations are so fast, they hit you always. The first raptor kicked my rear end  On top of THAT, the normal "weak" enemies, move so fast it's hard to hit them, and grenadiers are far more accurate, and are rapid-fire tossing those fuckers out.This is going to be a challenge. Interesting to note though, is that you can change difficulty at any point in the game. Which is nifty. Also completely new area in level 1 which replaces the area with the Auto-Shotty and 2nd key. Now completely different, and from my limited exploration, the Auto-Shotgun is nowhere to be found. Overall a good investment, and I'm going to enjoy beating this thing on Hardcore, even if it does seem a bit like a BS difficulty.

Out of curiosity mostly, i looked up the ending to the 3rd Turok game and Jesus Christ the voice acting. They totally hosed up Joshua's character too, at least what character i imagined him having. The weapons looked interesting though? The napalm shotgun mostly got my attention. I know we won't be getting around to it here for quite a while longer but i for one can't wait now.

Yeah, I noticed that too when I saw Eexecute do his LP of it. It's especially weird when you compare it to THIS game, which had almost no dialogue at all, yet had PHENOMENAL voice acting. This game really is amazing for just how much polish went into every little detail  ...Turok 3 Death Cries: uuunnngh.... Turok 1 Death Cries: GRRAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUGGGGGHHHHH!!!

Well just finished beating the new Turok on Hardcore. Very fun, mostly. A few changes here and there, but overall a similar experience! The bosses on Hardcore thankfully don't have the double speed of the normal enemies, which really makes them chumps. With the exception of the Longhunter's Humvee's, which can actually shoot at, and hit you during their opening cutscene A few glitches and oversights too. Mostly in level 7 oddly enough. The key symbol on the beginning and end level portals shows the level 3 symbol, and there are TWO chronoscepter pieces in the level. (Both are the same piece, so you can't assemble it early if you collect both. Which, not sure if this is an oversight, or intentional, but I'm betting on the latter! Speaking of the Chronoscepter......while I don't want to spoil the weapon, let's just say it's damage output is completely different than the N64 version. Let's just put it this way. 3 shots. More than enough to kill anything that moves. (minus those monkeys). So definitely go pick it up. The sale is still on!

Oddly enough the 2 chronoscepter pieces are there in the original game as well, so that's faithful. I didn't know about it until I was recording and researching the level.

I don't think you're actually taking damage when you're jumping on those pillars. It's just a weird thing.

I might not be. You can jump on the lava in armor and not take damage, so this led to my conclusion that I was talking a fraction of a health point of damage. It might be hitting me enough to register the color flash but not enough to actually cause damage.

You're playing on a real N64 for this LP right? Because doing that section with a mouse and keyboard is hard enough, i can't imagine having to deal using the C-buttons and lovely look spring controller aiming.

No, the first Turok is being run on an emulator with me using a wired 360 controller. C buttons are maped to ABX & Y, left control stick is the control stick, the two right shoulder buttons are R & Z, the left two shoulder buttons are A&B, and back is L. Start is obvious. I should be switching to the n64 for truck to because the emulators can't quite show off the lighting engine which will likely mean some amount of a visual downgrade. Since the n64 version of Turok 2 has you choose between unnormal frame rate, or higher res textures.

I am really bad at platformers and have bad vertigo; watching your videos makes me legitimately uncomfortable with the sheer amount of 1st person, 3D platforming done with what seems to be very floaty controls. And then there's the blind X+Y velocity jumps, those make me clench up every time... I don't know because I didn't get into 1st person shooters besides Goldeneye until Halo 1, but was all of that jumping considered fun at the time? Because that's what stopped me from picking this up when it was on sale for super cheap a couple weeks ago. That, and all of that really disorienting camera clipping

So here's an interesting little thing i found. They call it a "documentary" but really it's one of the devs of all Turok games talking a little bit about each game. Plus it's got a trailer for Evolution at the end of it which is just freaking hilarious to me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8O_-PDJ51c4

I really like that pool as a means to hide a secret. It's good to know that even with muddy textures stretched out like Silly Putty, they still found ways to be a little subtle about hidden passages.

PSWII60 posted:Oh right I have a thread, Update time. Nice. Glad to see the Lost Land put to pasture! Always curious as to why they placed 2 Chronoscepter pieces in this level. Oversight? Or perhaps just generosity? Who knows! The place in which you acquired the 2nd key. The Spiritual Invincibility, AND some Tek Armor are available there even on Hard mode, on the raised areas near the corridor leading out of that room. You have to jump from the metal platform with the key on it down to them though, in a bit of a tricky jump. Now here's a rumor that I'm wondering if you can prove or debunk. I was uploading my stream of the Remastered version, and on one of the videos somebody commented that if you use the knife dead center on the BACK of an enemy, it's an insta-kill. Never tested this, not sure if I have the patience to, but curious if it's true!

There is definitely something screwy that goes on with the knife, sometimes it'll one shot leapers and regular enemies with one swipe while on the run. While trying to stand and fight is usually a pretty bad idea.

I'll see what I can find. Not sure how I can consistently hit enemies in the back but I'll see what I can do to prove this or not.

So I always thought the LP curse was dumb, then my lap top decided to start eating its own hinges and is now having an argument with its power supply and the two are no longer on speaking terms. One of them might be dead, I'll figure it out soon. Wanted to keep everybody in the loop. Back on track as soon as I can fix it.

Nah, only one sister, so no more major weddings unless I get one. Should be 3 videos based on my test runs. I want to try and make it 2 so I can start Turok 2, but I keep dying. Cheats are a must to show off considering how many there are, and how rare cheats are in general in modern games.

Update guys, computer is fixed somehow. I eventually gave up fixing it and pulled the hdd to transfer the data I hadn't backed up yet. For whatever reason it just started working when I put everything back together.  Recording is done for level 8 and I just need to edit everything (it's 5 videos for the record).

Turok has a special place in my old man heart because my Mom bought it for me in the 4th grade as a surprise. I volunteered to give up my spot on a team for a kid who had been left out and she knew I liked dinosaurs. This was when she had no idea vidya games could have blood and the look of horror as she watched me play it still makes me grin when I remember it. She asked if I wanted to trade it for pretty much anything. I said no.
